BY N. A. T.

OHAfIhh Al v.

A bright clear sunlight bathes the
beautiful little village in its son
rays and ereeps ioyously in at the
windows oftbe room in which Lila
and Kate are still wrapt in sweet
oblivion.
The night before the little party
had arrived and in spite Of the
shOrtness Of their journey they bad
been wooed 70 early rest. The clean
white beds Of the neat little hotel
proved quite inviting after the
dust and heat Of the day.
The hotel stands upon a slight
eminence. A broad green carpeted
lawn lies stretched in front. Just
beyond the wire fence and high
posted gate the clear waters Of a
small stream bounds recklessly
over rocks causing it to lash into
foaming white sprays, bubble an
instant in its checked career, then
rush headlong upon its course. A
wide gravel walk lies between this
and the fence which runs far up in.
to the village and branching off in
many directions as it leDgthens.
Tall graceful trees border it on
either side, casting a cool shade on
its pebbly breastand almost defying
the suns kisses. A little rustic
bridge spans the laughing stream
just opposite the gate making con-
nection with another street, a per.
feet counterpart Of its neighbor
along whose sides little vineclad
cottages nestle, revealing only
glimpses oftheir whiteness through
the thick green foliage.
The village clock chimes the
hour Of nine. AS its last stoke
rings clearly and lingeringly out
Kate opens her bright eyes with q
start. For a moment she stares
about the room in wonder, where
on earth is she? OH yes to be sure
she had arrived the night before at
this little country place, she springs
up and runs to a window which
happens TO be one that overlooks
the lawn and murmuring brook.
She pulls aside the curtain and
looks out upon the scene taking in
rapidly each new beauty, that to
her unaccustomed eyes seems in
deed a Paradise.
ella, how can you sleepY" she
cries turning TO the yet unconscious
girl, "and delay seeing this little
Edenl It's shame, get up YOU lazy
child" she calls in voice so high
that Lila starts violently and ex-
claims:
"Is the house on freY"
"Fire? Ridiculous to think Of
anything so hot in such a cool en-
chanting looking spot. Come and
beholdw
Shepulls the curtain further aside
that better view may be obtained.
isn't it lovcly2" Lila bursts
forth. owe must have a stroll
down that inviting walk as soon as
we can rush through our toilets
and hasty breakfast"
Acting upon this impulse they
are not long in completing their
toilets and fastening down to the
breakfast room where they find the
others already assembled and sip
ping their fragrant coffee.
They have brought their hats
down and when Mr.. Singleton looks
mp bids them goodmorning be asks:
"Whatl You don't mean to rush
back 10 New York on first train,
do YOU"
sNot much, answers Kate, Eve

street beside the brook outside yon-
der as soon as we can swallow

ST. George gives bic luggage in
to the hands Of a porter and joins
the rambles, and Il Il far up into
the day when they present them
selves at the hotel. Mr.. Singleton
is not surprised at his brothers
sudden appearance. he has gotten
use 10 that kind ofthing and would
not be surprised to meet him in
the wilds ofAfrica should he chance
to be there himself.
ST. George refuses to recognize
Viola's GOODNESS and is so thorough
u agreeable the whole Of the after
noon that she partially yield and
in return tolerates his society. She
cannot wholly forget their last
meeting, but he seems TO have for
gotten that such a meeting had ever
occurred.
He has never in his life been so
gallant and thoughtful, and she
finds it impossible to make him
realize that she can get through the
evening without having him to
move her chair or pick up her
handkerchief if it chances to fall
from her lap. He takes possession
Of her fan and uses it tor her bene-
it as industriOusly as though il
were part and lot of his duty.
The next day is the Sabbath and
it dawns bright and clear. 1t is
that dearest day of all the seven.
From their steeples softly pealing
comes the pleading tones of the
village church bells. The bright
morning sun kisses the laughing
stream, the merry little birds twit-
ter and chirp one to another as
they hop from bough, whose green
leave music rustling in the balmy
breeze. From over the hills and
through the meadows come blue
eyed country lasses with broad
shouldered country lads, vending
their way to the church of God.
Two vehicles stop before the
church door and from them alight
all the Singleton party save Viola
and St George. Where are theyl
Look crossing yonder rustic bridge
and observe that tall figure with
the white clad one at his side. Can
you doubt who they arel
st George is STOPPING to peer in
to her eyes, and she is seeking to
prevent him.
"What do you expect to accom-
plish by dragging me out to this
meeting of rustics to day." be asks.
81 certainly would not have gone
had you not been so gracious as
to ask my company. If you had OK
pressed a desire to have me as a
companion any whore on earth, l
should have jumped at the oppor-
tunity. I am yours to command"
II decline the honor, if you
please, and wish to say that only
asked you to come to day, because
y heard you say you bad not enter
ed the house Of God in twenty
years. It was not because I desir.
ed your companionship at all"
"Thank you. I never was more
battered by a remark in my life,
You merely wish to civilize me,
ehy"
81 only wished to bring you
within reach of christian influence
once more. Mr.. st George I shud.
der sometimes when / hear you
talking. Why do you loath every.
thing pertaining to christianity
Because every thing pertaining
to christianity is so thoroughly
stepped in hypocricy. When a
man says to the world 'Pm a chris.
tian," the Interpretation is 'Tm a
william"
81 think you are mistaken
Some, it is true. are hypoorites,
but there are pure, true christians
in this world"
"Mr. Singleton for instance9"
Viola hesitatos a moment before
replying.
